As we learnt

Position vector -

Let O be a fixed origin, then position vector of P is \overrightarrow{OP}

- wherein

 

 Since \underset{AB}{\rightarrow}=\left ( p.v \right )\vec{B}-\left ( p.v \right )\vec{A}

So that \underset{AB}{\rightarrow}=\left ( i+2j+3k \right )-\left ( 2i=3j+5k \right )

= -i-j-2k

Similarly \underset{CD}{\rightarrow}=6i+6j+12k

= 6\left ( i+j+2k \right )

So that ratios are equal. so they are parellal

\underset{AB}{\rightarrow}\left | \right |\underset{CD}{\rightarrow}


Option 1)

AB\parallel CD

Correct option

Option 2)

DC\parallel AD

Incorrect Option

Option 3)

A,B,C are collinear

Incorrect Option

Option 4)
